Everybody loves the theater, particularly when Adventure Tours of Warren hosts the theater party.  And, you'll really like Providence Performing Arts Center, originally built as the Leow's Movie Palace. 

 

On opening day at this theater, October 6, 1928, over 14,000 people came to hear the $90,000 Robert Morton organ accompanying the film, "Excess Baggage".  But most people really showed up to see the magnificent decor with its sparkling gilding, lavish fabrics, coffered ceilings, columns of imported marble, and huge crystal chandeliers.
